Chapter 11: Q.11.56 (page 461)

IMR in Singapore. The infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of infant deaths per 1000 live births. Suppose that you have been commissioned to estimate the IMR in Singapore. From a random sample of 1109live births in Singapore, you find that 0.361%of them resulted in infant deaths. You next find a 90%confidence interval:

0.00361卤1.645路(0.00361)(0.99639)/1109,

or 0.000647to 0.00657. You then conclude, "I can be 90%confident that the IMR in Singapore is somewhere between 0.647and 6.57." How did you do?

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is incorrect to calculate IMR with the given sample data using the given approach.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Sample size is n=1109.

Sample proportion is p^=0.361%

=0.00361.

02

Explanation

The 90%confidence interval is as follows:

A confidence interval of 1-伪,

To find z伪/2using table II.

p^卤z伪/2路p^(1-p^)n

鈬�Confidence interval=0.00361卤1.6450.00361(1-0.00361)1109

鈬�CI=0.00361卤0.00296

鈬�CI=0.000647to0.00657鈬�CI=0.0647%to0.657%

One can be 90%confident that infant mortality rate(IMR) in Singapore is somewhere between 0.0647%to 0.657%.

03

Explanation

To find the confidence interval in the present scenario.

The number of samples is n=1109.

The ratio of the sample is p^=0.361%

=0.00361

The number of success x=n脳p^

=1109脳0.361%

=4

(less than 5).

Since assumption that localid="1651310401339" (x>5)is not being satisfied here.

Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fit based on height and weight. According to the document Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for adults, a BMI of greater than 25 indicates an above healthy weight (i.e., overweight or obese), Oct 750 randomly selected adults whose highest degree is a bachelor's, 386 have an above healthy weight; and of 500 randomly selected adults with a graduate degree, 237 have an above healthy weight.

a. What assumptions are required for using the two-proportions z-lest here?

b. Apply the two-proportions z-test to determine, at the 5% significance level, whether the percentage of adults who have an above healthy weight is greater for those whose highest degree is a bachelor's than for those with a graduate degree.

Why is statistical inference generally used to obtain information about a population proportion?

Use your result from Exercise 11.132to show that a (1-伪)level confidence interval for the difference between two population proportions that has a margin of error of at most Ecan be obtained by choosing

n1=n2=0.5z伪/2E2

rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Smallpox Vaccine. ABCNEWS.com published the results of a poll that asked U.S. adults whether they would get a smallpox shot if it were available. Sampling, data collection, and tabulation were done by TNS Intersearch of Horsham, Pennsylvania. When the risk of the vaccine was described in detail, 4 in 10 of those surveyed said they would take the smallpox shot. According to the article, "the results have a three-point margin of error" (for a 0.95 confidence level). Use the information provided to obtain a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all U.S. adults who would take a smallpox shot, knowing the risk of the vaccine.

NBA Draft Picks. From Wikipedia's online document "Lis of First Overall NBA Draft Picks," we found that, since 1947, 10.4%of the number-one draft picks in the National Basketball Association have been other than U.S. nationals.

a. Identify the population.

b. Identify the specified attribute.

c. Is the proportion 0.104(10.4%)a population proportion or a sample proportion? Explain your answer.
